IRCTC announces ‘Khushboo Gujarat Ki’ 7-day Air Tour Package for Somnath, Dwarka, Diu

Gandhinagar: The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is set to launch a seven-day air tour package to Gujarat, offering travelers an opportunity to explore the state’s most iconic religious sites along with the Gir National Park, the only place in Asia to spot the Asiatic Lion.

The tour itinerary includes visits to several key spiritual landmarks across Gujarat:

  • Dwarkadhish Temple, Dwarka: Located on the Gomti Creek, this temple—also known as Jagat Mandir—is dedicated to Lord Krishna, worshiped as Dwarkadhish, or “King of Dwarka.”

  • Bet Dwarka: Situated about 30 km from Dwarka on Beyt Island, also called Shankhodar, this moderately populated island in the Gulf of Kutch is believed to be Lord Krishna’s residence during his reign. The site is famed for the story of Krishna sharing rice with his friend Sudama.

  • Rukmini Devi Temple, Dwarka: Located 2 km from Dwarka city, the temple is dedicated to Goddess Rukmini. According to legend, Rukmini was cursed to be separated from Krishna, which explains its location away from the Jagat Mandir.

  • Nageshwar Jyotirlinga: One of India’s 12 revered Jyotirlingas, this temple commemorates the legend of the demon Daaruka and a devotee named Supriya, where a self-manifested Shivalinga appeared after Lord Shiva defeated the demon.

  • Somnath Jyotirlinga: Situated on Gujarat’s western coast at the meeting point of the Kapila, Hiran, and Sarasvati rivers, this intricately carved temple is the site of the first Jyotirlinga in India. Originally dated back to 649 BC, the current structure was reconstructed in 1951.

  • Bhalka Tirth, Veraval: Located about 3 km from Somnath, this site marks where Lord Krishna was mistakenly shot by an arrow while resting in a deerskin. The spot is associated with Krishna’s departure from Earth, as described in the Puranas.

The air tour package aims to combine spiritual exploration with wildlife adventure, offering travelers a comprehensive experience of Gujarat’s cultural and natural heritage.
